Red and white

A few weeks ago I featured outfits which give me confidence. This was one of my most popular posts, which shows the one thing we're all looking for is confidence!

When we're having a "fat day" a long jacket is good for the confidence, while a shot of red says that we're feeling on top of the world. We still need a jacket at this time of year but instead of a black jacket I'm wearing an ivory one. I'm still using the same felt flowers for a pop of color.
I loved the poppy skirt as soon as I saw it - I like the fluting edge of the skirt. The skirt is by Precis Petite, but although at 5'5 (165cms) I'm not petite, I find their clothes usually fit me fine so it doesn't put me off. The white sandals, with mid-height perspex heels, have been a big hit with me because they're very comfortable.

I've had the jacket for two years and the top is also an oldie, but they're both incredibly useful. Firstly they're not a bright white. Bright white suits very few people: I try to look for ivory or soft white (which Kettlewell sell).

The top has a cute Peter Pan collar in pearls. I'd like to find a red top that matches the poppies, so I'm on the look out.

I don't often wear earrings because you can't see them under my hair. I adore anything to do with cherries though and I picked these up at a Christmas bazaar. I'm having a radical new hairstyle soon so maybe I will be able to show off a few more earrings!

I love this outfit Gail!! I know what you mean about earrings---in fact, I just painted a pair so they would show up better against my hair. I can't wait to see your new "do"!Jodiewww.jtouchofstyle.com

I can see why you went for this skirt! I love it! I have a dress with larger poppies and it just is such a pretty print. Love the flutter hem and I love the strappy sandals!thanks for linking!jess xxwww.elegantlydressedandstylish.com

Goodness, this is such an eye-catching look! The poppy skirt is beautiful and I really like it styled with your longer blazer. The addition of the floral brooch was brilliant. Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday, Gail!
